How to Polish a Diamond Ring

As the classic song states, raindrops on roses are nice and whiskers on kittens are undeniably cute, but diamonds are far more common on most women's lists of favorite things. No matter where your diamond is located, on your fingers, in your ears or around your neck it is important to it polished so it shines its brightest. Since you are a busy woman without a ton of extra time to devote towards dropping off your diamonds at the jewelers every few days, you can use a few tricks to polish your diamonds at home.

Instructions

1

Remove fiber from your ring with tweezers. Fibers are easily caught on rings when you dry your hands with a towel or change your clothes.

2

Use a small toothpick to remove any dirt from hard-to-reach places on your ring, such as on the diamond beneath the prongs.

3

Mix warm water and mild dish soap into a small container and place it on a flat surface to soak your ring in. Never soak your rings in the sink --- they might accidently fall down the drain. Soak for a few minutes.

4

Use a soft bristle toothbrush to clean your ring once it has soaked for a few minutes. Scrub gently and in a circular motion to loosen dirt without damaging your diamond.

5

Rinse your ring in warm water. Repeat if necessary.
